Andrea underwent surgery after being diagnosed with endometriosis and has found the hardest part of being in recovery had been that she was 'unable to workout'.

'It's just coming up to six weeks now, there's physical things to get over but my biggest fear was mentally falling over a cliff because that's menopause,' she explained to the panel.

'My life is really great at the moment and I didn't want to do anything to spoil it but luckily apart from a couple of hormonal moments, touch-wood its fine.'

However the star's boyfriend, Nick Feeney, was on hand to make the whole ordeal easier and Andrea credited him with having been 'beyond fabulous' throughout.

Hopefully with the new year on the horizon Andrea can put the whole thing behind her and concentrate on the half marathon she's signed up for!
